ALL FALL DOWN. onerepublic
Lost 'til you're found, swim 'til you drown - know that we all fall down
Love 'til you hate, strong 'til you break - know that we all fall down...
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That's where you'll find me
BOYS WANNA FIGHT. garbage
What a mess we've made, it's ridiculous
The whole wide world's a stage of complete chaos
It gets so funny that we get confused
We don't know where to turn cause we've all been used
BRAVE. idina menzel
And I might still cry, and I might still bleed
These thorns in my side, this heart on my sleeve
And lightning may strike this ground at my feet
And I might still crash, but I still believe
DEAR GOD. sarah mclachlan
It's all the same, the whole world round, the hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'd perceive that my heart's here on my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in, it's you... dear God
DEVIL INSIDE. utada hikaru
Everybody wants me to be their angel
Everybody wants something they can cradle
They don't know I burn...
Maybe there's a devil (or something like it) inside me
EDGING INTO DARKNESS. julia murney
I'd sacrifice myself at any price, if only I were able once or twice
To melt the fire, to freeze the ice...
But all that I have is a star, and a candle that flickers and fails
And if things stay as dark as they are, I'll go far, wind in sails - edging into darkness
EIGHT EASY STEPS. alanis morisette
How to keep people at arm's length and never get too close
How to mistrust the ones you supposedly love the most
How to pretend you're fine and don't need help from anyone
How to feel worthless unless you're serving or helping someone
GOD IS A DJ. pink
I've been the girl with her skirt pulled high
Been the outcast never running with mascara eyes...
I've been the girl, middle finger in the air
Unaffected by rumors, the truth: I don't care
So open your mouth and stick out your tongue
You might as well let go, you can't take back what you've done
I'M NOT DOWN. thea gilmore
And I have lived that kind of day when none of your sorrows will go away
It goes down and down and hit the floor, down and down and down some more...
I've been beat up, I've been thrown out, but I'm not down
I've been shown up, but I've grown up, and I'm not down
MOTHER. tori amos
Go go go now, circus girl without a safety net
Here here here now, don't cry - you raised your hand for the assignment
Tuck those ribbons under your helmet, be a good soldier
First my left foot, then my right behind the other, pantyhose running in the cold
MY SIDE OF THE STORY. hodges
Cold wind blows, I am shivering; my body aches as my heart is breaking
Why is life making me hollow? Why is happiness casting me in the shadows?
...I'm all alone, running scared, losing my way in the dark
I tried to get up, stand on a prayer, but I keep crashing down hard
MY STORY IS NOT DONE. seanan mcguire
I was born into a fairy tale, never tried to find Prince Charming
Had a different ship to sail, didn't find the waves alarming
For nobody gets to tell me if I've lost or if I've won
When they ask you what befell me, say my story is not done
NOT A PRETTY GIRL. ani difranco
And I have earned my disillusionment, I have been working all of my life
And I am a patriot, I have been fighting the good fight
And what if there are no damsels in distress, what if I knew that and I called your bluff?
Don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down whether or not you ever show up?
PAVLOV'S BELL. aimee mann
Because nobody knows that's how I nearly fell
Trading clothes, and ringing Pavlov's bell
History shows there's not a chance in hell
RABBIT HEART (RAISE IT UP). florence & the machine
You made a deal, and now it seems you have to offer up
But will it ever be enough? It's not enough...
I must become a lion-hearted girl, ready for a fight
Before I make the final sacrifice
SECRET AGENT. melissa etheridge
All the boys wanna know if she's got something to hide
All the girls are relieved she's working for the other side
She's a sinner, a saint, she'll run it cool and hot
She's a secret agent - you can believe it or not
SHORT SKIRT LONG JACKET. cake
With fingernails that shine like justice
And a voice that is dark like tinted glass
She is fast and thorough and sharp as a tack
She is touring the facility and picking up slack
SOUND OF WATER. sarah slean
Sometimes the sword is so heavy and the pain has a ravenous mouth
In the pits of my own making, sometimes I don't think I'll ever get out...
This ain't a world for intelligent women unless you like swimming in your own dark sea
These are times for urgent rhymes, but where the poetry?
STAND IN THE RAIN. superchic(k)
She never slows down, she doesn't know why but she knows that
When she's all alone, feels like its all coming down...
She won't make a sound, alone in this fight with herself
And the fears whispering if she stands, she'll fall down
THIRTY WHACKS. the dresden dolls
Thirty licks with a belt, same old tricks on myself
And I wonder, does everyone else live this way?
A succession of tests, a triumphant success
Each time I'm still intact at the end of the day
THIS GIRL IS TAKING BETS. thea gilmore
This girl is a black eye, she's a bruise on your knee
She's the ashes of the people who you really meant to be
This girl is the resurrection, she's the comeback
She's the absinthe in whiskey, she is poetry and Prozac
THREE HITS. indigo girls
And this world's a fickle measure, I will painfully remind you
From a wise man to your red hand, you lay covered in our best sins...
Well, I dream you, constant stranger, with your best bloods and your anger
You say mother, do you claim me; my beloved, do you blame me
WHAT IF NO ONE'S WATCHING. ani difranco
We have to be able to criticize what we love, say what we have to say
'Cause if you're not trying to make something better, then as far as I can tell you're just in the way...
But what if no one's watching? What if there's no time to lose?
What if there's things we gotta do, things that need to be said?
WHERE ARE WE GOING FROM HERE. blackmore's night
Lines on my face, lines on my hands lead to a future I don't understand
Some things don't go as they're planned; where are we going from here?
...As the day dies, with tears in our eyes, there's too few hellos and too many goodbyes
Silence answers our cries: where are we going from here?
WICKED GIRLS SAVING OURSELVES. seanan mcguire
For we will be wicked, and we will be fair, and they'll call us such names, and we really won't care...
And our roads may be golden or broken or lost, but we'll walk on them willingly, knowing the cost
We won't take our place on the shelves
It's better to fly, and it's better to die, say the wicked girls saving ourselves
WILLING TO FIGHT. ani difranco
You don't have to like me for who I am
But we'll see what you're made of by what you make of me
I think it's absurd that you think I am the derelict daughter
I fight fire with words - words are hotter than flames, words are wetter than water
THE WORLD'S NOT FALLING APART. dar williams
The closest thing to God that I have heard
Is when I knew I did not have the final word
You say the world has lost its love
I say I embrace what it's made of...
The world's not falling apart because of me
Lost 'til you're found, swim 'til you drown - know that we all fall down
Love 'til you hate, strong 'til you break - know that we all fall down...
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That's where you'll find me
